From the pages of DV8, an edgy spin-off of Gen 13 (hey, it's almost Halloween, things should be getting scary), some early work by Warren Ellis. Here, our anti-heroes try to buy some drinks.
Get it, the name of the bar is Clark's because that's Superman's name and the C is in a little diamond, like the Superman S... it's funny! In theory!
Something of a weird scene, all told. The reaction is less "I can't believe they did that!" than "I can't believe they bothered to do that." Truth be told, I wouldn't be thrilled to see a scene where the Deviants (ugh) pull one over the stodgy old heroes because they're so young and hip, but it's still a bit weird to see Ellis settling for some Family Guy type "see these characters? They exist!" 'humor'. Maybe he just wanted to make the legal department earn their keep.
